Installation
WARNING: INSTALLATION OF DEMA PRODUCTS MUST MEET ALL APPLICABLE
ELECTRICAL CODES AND REGULATIONS ESTABLISHED BY NATIONAL, CITY,
COUNTY, PARISH, PROVINCIAL OR OTHER AGENCIES. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT
ELECTRICAL CODES AND REGULATIONS REQUIRE THAT A CERTIFIED
ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR OR ENGINEER PERFORM THE ELECTRICAL
INSTALLATION. FOR QUESTIONS, CONTACT A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
ALL ELECTRICAL POWER MUST BE TURNED OFF TO THE HEATING ELEMENTS AND DISH
MACHINE PRIOR TO BEGINNING INSTALLATION
UNIT MUST BE GROUNDED (EARTHED).
Mounting the DM Nitro Express
1. Mount the unit in an appropriate place on a wall using the enclosed mounting bracket and screws.
Setting up the DM Nitro Express and the Dish Machine
1. Locate the electrical connection point. The input power may be 100V – 265 V 50/60 Hz. Check with the
manufacturer of the machine to determine if there are dedicated terminals available for installation.
2. Properly ground the dispenser to earth ground.
3. If the Nitro Express will be operating in the concentration mode, locate the proper position for the DEMA C-
12B probe in the wash tank. The probe must be installed below the water level, normally 1-2” from the bottom
of the tank, and must be kept away from heating elements, pump intake, drains and incoming water supply.
4. Install the detergent injection bulkhead fitting (80-55) above the probe (if a probe is used) to obtain a rapid
reading of all chemicals entering the wash tank.
5. Install the rinse line injection fitting (904-8T) into the rinse line tap provided by the manufacturer of the
machine. If a tap is not provided, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for installing this fitting.
6. Install the sanitizer injection fitting (904-8KY) (if sanitizer is used) into the rinse line tap provided by the
manufacturer of the machine. If a tap is not provided follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for installing
this fitting.
Connecting the Chemical Tubing to the Nitro Express
1. After mounting the dispenser, measure the length of tubing needed to go from the dispenser to the chemical
containers. The detergent tubing (25.68.20) is opaque in color and has a larger inside diameter than the rinse
and sanitizer tubing (100.12.SV1) which is clear in color and has a small inside diameter.
2. Cut the tubing to the length required and, if desired, place the pickup tube on the tubing before placing in the
chemical container.
3. Measure the length of tubing needed to go from the dispenser to the chemical injection point on the machine.
4. Cut the tubing to the length required to reach the bulkhead fitting or chemical injection point on the machine.
Wiring the Nitro Express to the Dish Machine
The following diagram is included to help to install the wires in the correct places for proper power for the unit.
WARNING: ONLY UP TO 265 VAC SHOULD BE SUPPLIED TO THIS UNIT. ANYTHING
OVER THAT AMOUNT WILL CAUSE CRITICAL DAMAGE TO THE UNIT.
WARNING: For safety purposes disconnect main power to the dish machine before wiring
trigger signals to the Nitro Express. Connect power to the Nitro Express per the dish machine
manufacturer’s recommendations.
UNIT MUST BE GROUNDED (EARTHED).
The following steps will help to insure the proper wiring of the unit. The unit should be triggered to power on from the
dish machine that it is being used in conjunction with. DEMA Engineering does not recommend powering the unit
separately from the dish machine. The following three steps will insure that the unit only receives power when it is
necessary to have power to run the setup that is programmed in the unit.

1. Connect the wash trigger (white and brown wires) to the appropriate wash trigger output (between 100 and 265
VAC 50/60Hz) as recommended by the dish machine manufacturer.
2. Connect the rinse trigger (black and red wires) to the appropriate rinse trigger output (between 100 and 265
VAC 50/60 Hz) as recommended by the dish machine manufacturer.
3. Make sure to connect the earth ground (green wire) to the ground connection on the dish machine as
recommended by the dish machine manufacturer.
If there is ever any question about the connection to the dish machine, please check with the dish machine
manufacturer to see where the proper trigger connection points are located before installing the trigger
connection wires.
Below is a wiring diagram for the unit. This is the internal wiring of the unit.
Programming the Nitro Express
Programming is done through the setting of dip switches and potentiometers (knobs). The following states how to
program the Nitro Express.
Changing Settings
When switches are changed or pots are turned, the settings will take effect immediately. In the case that the unit is
processing the previous settings, it will finish the current cycle before the new setting is used. If the Probe/Probeless or
Door/ Conveyor Settings are changed, the unit will start the cycle over immediately.
Dip Switches
The following diagram illustrates what the different switches refer to so that the Nitro Express can be set up for the
proper situation.
The dip switches are set up so that the “up” position is “on” and the “down” position is “off”.

PROBELESS
Potentiometers (Knobs)
The potentiometers can be set according to the following charts. Each of the next four figures will outline various
configurations that are possible. For more information on these configurations consult pages 5-6 to see how to set up the
dip switches for the configurations.
Rinse/Sanitizer Settings The Rinse and Sanitizer knobs control the same
setting whether in probe or probeless mode and in
door or conveyor mode. They control the speed of
the rinse and sanitizer pump.
The table to the right has approximate values for
the pump rate at different settings of the knob.
Only the DLL and LLL models have a sanitizer
potentiometer.
Probeless and Door Configuration
Initial Detergent Charge – The detergent knob sets the time the
detergent pump will run or detergent valve will remain open during an
initial charge. The time can be set from 0-60 sec.
The initial charge is activated in one of two ways.
1.It can be activated by 1 hour of elapsed time where no triggers have
activated the dispenser.1
2. With the rinse limit turned on (switch 7) and a rinse trigger active
for
Detergent more than 20 seconds, an initial charge will be dispensed.
Dead Cycles – The alarm knob sets the number of cycles no detergent is
dispensed before a recharge portion of detergent is added to the machine.
The table to the right has the different settings for the Dead Cycle count
corresponding to the knob setting.
